IKIANBU, but how to get needle refusing DD to have her Jab?

[Plonque]

My DD is in Yr 8 of secondary school.

She has mentioned a few times about the HPV jab coming up at school and how she wasn't going to get it because she thinks it will hurt.
I've not entertained this at all and have said it's a tiny sting for a moment and it could save your life - you're going to have it.

Anyway, the permission letter has come today and needs to be returned immediately.
DD has point blank said she is not having it and I don't know what to do.
I don't want to set off any life long needle phobias or such, so I'm just trying to see the most successful way forward.
I don't really have any phobias so I've no idea how to handle it.

She had all of her baby jabs but has not needed any sort of injection since so this is new to her, I get that she doesn't know what to expect so refusing seems the best option.
I had said to her if she kicks up a fuss at school I will take her for it at the doctors (I actually don't know if this is possible?!)

Can you suggest any strategies?

When I had my HPV jabs at school I fainted. I still do now for anything medical based. I can't recommend anything that will stop her not wanting it except for the terrifying thought of being put on a drip for chemo if she ends up getting cervical cancer as a result.

i have a needle phobia, in particular of the idea that the needle might break inside my arm & I'd be left with a bit of metal in my arm.

So every time a helpful person says 'its a really thin needle', 'it is really tiny', that just makes things WORSE.

distraction is the only thing that lets me get through procedures with needles.

That is the exact same fear I have! I'd rather someone sliced my arm open with a knife and poured the vaccine into me

If a needle were to break off (only caused by the patient) it's fairly easy to dig out. It won't be lost forever!

I do think we pander to people far too much now. "I'm too needle phobic to have an inoculation but have tattoos covering my face, I want a job but people discriminate against you when you have tattoos!" Ok so I'm exaggerating but I think we need a bit less understanding and a little more "stop whinging and get on with it"! If you want to be a wallflower it should be to your loss and detriment not others who endure and achieve.
